How to Pass the Terraform Pro Exam: Tips from Mattias Fjellström

Описание: In this episode of Terraform Tuesday, I sit down with cloud architect and HashiCorp Ambassador Mattias Fjellström to talk about the Terraform Authoring and Operations Professional exam. Mattias recently published an in-depth study guide on LeanPub to help you nail this advanced certification, and today he’s sharing his tips and insights to get you exam-ready.

In our conversation, we cover:

🌮 Matias’s own journey with Terraform, going all the way back to 2017
🌮 The skills you need for the professional-level exam and what the lab-based format involves
🌮 The hands-on tasks to expect, from state file migrations to troubleshooting
🌮 How Matias created his study guide and what makes it a must-read for Terraform pros

If you’re working on the Terraform Associate certification and want to step it up, or if you’re ready to dive deep into pro-level tasks, this episode is packed with value. I’ve read Mattias’s book myself—it’s thorough, insightful, and a fantastic resource for exam prep.
